The saying, trust your gutapplies well to this type of reading.

There is more than one way to perform a crystal reading. Whether you are doing it yourself or have reached out to a healing professional, this is not a one-size-fits-all type of session. In fact, there are many different ways to approach a crystal-based reading. Some of the more popular options include:

Intuitive Selection

Perhaps the most commonly practiced crystal reading is intuitive selection. There are a couple of ways this specific type of reading is done. However, generally speaking there would be a table full of different crystals. The stones themselves can be big or small, tumbled or raw, round or in a specific shape. It may vary based on your own personal crystal collection and what you (or the healer) chose to put out.

Drawing Crystals From a Bag

Another way that crystal reading is often performed is by drawing stones from a cloth bag. This is slightly different, as it has nothing to do with choices based on sight. Rather, the crystals chosen are based on either touch or an energetic connection between the person drawing the stone and the stone itself. Just like intuitive selection, this process requires you to select three to five stones.

Crystal Oracle Cards

Lastly, you may want to perform a quick (and fairly straightforward) crystal reading using oracle cards. There are many different decks to choose from. The key is to choose a crystal themed or gemstone themed deck. Typically, each card has a picture of a different crystal and then there is a guidebook with possible meanings related to that crystal. Feeling a little uncertain? Just getting started with crystal reading? Using crystal oracle cards is the best place to start. It allows you to get comfortable with different stones, helps improve intuition, and makes it easy to understand your reading.
